Overapplying readily available N can also interfere with the uptake of other nutrients and lead to yield drag and profit loss, just as underapplying can. Fall application of nutrients for a cash crop the following year makes no sense from a plant nutrition standpoint. Establishing a cover crop is priority one in the fall.

Higher temperatures can speed crop growth and increase demands on the soil. Close plant spacings, quick crop successions, and extended seasons, typical in tunnel production, add to those demands. With increased crop successions comes increased soil preparation and tillage that can impact soil structure.

Healthy soil can mean increased yields (and profits) as well as fewer inputs like fertilizer or pesticides. Rotate your crops. Rotating crops is one of the best ways to improve long-term soil health on your farm. There are several types of crop rotation that farmers can implement to maximize the benefits of this practice.

Who manages land determines which scientific perspectives, crop choices, traditions, and skills shape the landscape, with profound implications for its ecological sustainability. In cropping systems, it may include increasing structural diversity of the crops themselves, as by having cut and uncut strips of alfalfa.

When striving to grow lush, healthy plants that produce favourable yields, soil nutrient quality must be high. This is especially important to encourage long-term quality plant nutrition and greater harvest yields. There are several different ways to add fertilizer to a field, a crop, home garden, or lawn environment.

Editor’s Note: Sorghum is not a well-known crop in the states, but this drought-tolerant crop could be a farm-saving plant in regions like the American Great Plains. Like many of the neighboring farms in his northeast corner of Oklahoma, his corn crop practically shriveled up due to the lack of moisture. Credit: Peggy Greb.

One way to reduce agricultural chemicals is planting cover crops in the Fall after the cash crop is harvested. Winter cover crops could mean using less fertilizer and herbicide in the Spring. According to the authors, there are three ways to eliminate cover crops: 1) herbicides, 2) rolling and crimping, and 3) tillage.

Understanding your soil (loamy, clay, etc), the PH, and the other trace nutrients that are available in your soil is vital to growing healthy crops. Growth and Yield: Many types of grass are perennials and have regrowth ability. Be sure not to over-harvest and give enough time for your crop to regrow.

It’s one thing the Biden administration, agribusiness leaders, soil scientists and environmentalists all agree on: farmers across the country should plant cover crops. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack , cover crops are being asked to do something new and high-stakes: draw atmospheric carbon into the soil to help fight climate change.

One stop showed off a soybean yield trial.
